Midurethral sling surgery for stress incontinence

Published: September, 2010

A minimally invasive approach is now the norm for treating
this common urinary problem.

Stress incontinence is leakage of urine under physical pressure —
for example, coughing, sneezing, laughing, or jumping. It affects
up to about one-third of women at some point, and although it's a
passing annoyance for some, for others it can be persistent and
severe enough to disrupt their lives.

A racing heart

The sensation that your heart has skipped a beat or suddenly started to race is known as palpitations. Although frightening, palpitations usually aren't a sign of something serious. Some home remedies may help: cut back on caffeine and alcohol, eat regularly to avoid low blood sugar, drink plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration, and practice meditation or relaxation exercises.
